RQM- Rest API POST request for Execution work Item throwing error 400


Gurnish kaur (111) | asked Jan 24 '17, 11:01 a.m.

 Hi,

RQM version-3.0.1.3
Issue- When doing a post request to create a Execution Work item, server is throwing error 400
Error XML is below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

I am able to do a GET on execution work item for another test case and its structure looks like following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<projectArea href="http://host&port/jazz/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.process.ProjectArea/_Projectareaid"/>
<ns4:identifier>http://host&port/jazz/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/project alias/executionworkitem/urn:com.ibm.rqm:executionworkitem:480710</ns4:identifier>

</executionworkitem>

The XML i formed for POST is below (for a different test case that did not had a execution work item yet):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<projectArea href="http://host&port/jazz/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.process.ProjectArea/__ProjectID"/>

<ns10:frequency>Once</ns10:frequency>
<ns10:regression>false</ns10:regression>
<ns10:priority></ns10:priority>
<ns10:weight>100</ns10:weight>
<ns10:tags></ns10:tags>
<testcase href="http://host&port/jazz/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/project/testcase/urn:com.ibm.rqm:testcase:153430"/>
<testscript href="http://host&port/jazz/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/project/testscript/urn:com.ibm.rqm:testscript:164989"/>
</executionworkitem>

Please note i changed testcase and testscript numbers in the able XML to the testcase which did not had execution work item in RQM in order to create a new one.

URL used for POST request : 
http://host&port/jazz/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/projectname/executionworkitem

In my POST request I removed following tags :
< webID> as its minimum occurrence can be zero

<identifier> it was referring to a webID that was not created yet so i removed this tag

 <currentexecutionresult>  no executionresult exists for this test case and i thought it should be created after execution work item get created.

 <executionresult> no executionresult exists for this test case and i thought it should be created after execution work item get created.

MY questions:
1. Can we create Execution work Item without having Execution results for a test case? or we need to first create Execution result using a POST request and then create a Execution work item using  another POST referring to Execution result created before?

2. Are<Identifier>,<currentexecutionresult>and <executionresult>   tags required in Execution work item POST request?

3. Looking at my above POST XML request do you see any missed data tags?
